MR EDITOR DARLINr:

Though i ~ only sarvlnt

For me bite AN me sup,
Wild wee bit a. pay.
Tbs a home now I'm wanting
Wild some square, darlin' man;
And II it's all honor bright,
III go quick as ! can
TO do up his cooIin'.
And clane up his house,
A. quick a flash
An as still as a mouse.
I'm not quite a granehorn.
For thanks be 10 God,
It's tan years
Since left the oHid sod,
Where the praties scarce,
And the bit ~ the green
Was owned 10y thin landlords
The manesi I've seen.
IT'S here I'm this country
III live all die;
Aud mayhaps I'll catch on
To some broth ola bye.
IT'S meself that's good loolcin',
Wild ne hair a bright red
An the swatest OF teeth
Like pearls set la me head;
Af4i me eyes like the sthars
That are twinklin' wild light;
An me mOuthl o, 'twould sind ye
Clane wild wild delight.
Me beart h. all irish,
A. ~ see by this lether,
Wild Bridget name,
For tile want Of a bether.
Now, who will be writing
To l8ridRets poor manner
Tie nlesef that will answer
An be proud 81 that same.
